Cleaner city gets a wash (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
sponge bath
'a wash' is the definition.
(I know that sponge bath is a type of bathing)
'cleaner city' is the wordplay.
'cleaner' becomes 'sponge'.
'city' becomes 'bath' (English city).
'sponge'+'bath'='SPONGE-BATH'
'gets' is the link.
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
